Jacobson’s Organ |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| An extrasensory organ in the roof of a snake’s mouth sharpens its sense of smell. Called Jacobson’s organ, it consists of two hollow, highly sensitive saclike structures. The snake’s acute odor perception allows it to track both prey and potential mates. | ||||||
